Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 22.1907. 7 Serial F0. 369,646.

'1 '0 on whom it may concern: Be it known that MARK HUNT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combination-Tool, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyingdrawing. Y

The object of the invention is to provide a tool especially adapted for the use of carpenters in which will be combined-a square, level, plane and marker. The tool being so constructed that it has the tools generally used by carpenters when weather-boarding and fitting cornice to buildings, but including, also, implements useful for other purposes.

A further object of the invention is to combine the tools mentioned in such a way that the workman using the tool will have less to carry when working upon a scaffold, also saving time in not having to stop and pick up tools such as needed in working on ascaifold when weather-boarding or such work as is to be done requiring a plane, square, level, and marker or any of them. The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is atop view of my improved "tool. Fig. 2 represents a front side view. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical view with part cut away. Fig. 4 is a vertical set in on the top of body 1 the thickness of the plate.

This plate 2 has an opening as shown in Fig. 1. Underneath 2 there is a recess and in this recess is stationed a level glass 3. 4 and 4 are common screws tween marker plate 9 and body 1, there being a recess 21 into which it can fold as shown in Fig. 3. At the lower end oi square arm 5 is a spring bar 13 which is always tight against 5 it being held thus, by pins 12 and 10. Pin 12 being above the bar 13 and the pin'10 below. See Fig. 3'. Y

6 is a metal lever used in tightening or loosening the board 20. The teeth 16 resting on the board 19.

Fig. 5 is a detail view with part cut away plane bit 8.. 7 is a screw fitting in tumbler 14 which is-made of metal. Fig. 3. Tumbler 14 is caused to turn and clutch the plane bit 8 by lowering the lever B.

' Screw 7 passes through a hole in the end of lever 6 and through plate 9 fitting into tumbler 1d, outside the center, (see Fig. 3.) Thus when the lever 6 is raised the bit 8 is loosened and when lowered is held firmly in place. Screw 7 is journaled in plate 9,.plate 9 thereby supporting the lever 6 and tumbler .14.

15 is a wedge preferably of wood which is used to ad-- 18 acts as a guide to the plane keeping the plane along the edge of the' surface to be planed. The legs 18 are the same length and have the lower end squared and I serve to support-the level when the tool is used as a level. The upper edge of plate 9 in combination with the body part loi the tool forms one arm of the square when the square blade 5 is at right angles to them.

Plate 9 also acts as a support for lever 6 and tumbler 14.

Between the legs 18 and -18 are situated teeth 16.

These teeth 16 being a projection of the plate 9, as shown in Fig. 2. These teeth have the-sharp edge formed on the rear side of the plate, or rear plane of plate 9. See Fig. 5. In Fig. 4 is shown the tool used as a marker. The legs' 18 being perpendicular to the By moving the tool up or down the teeth will cut a mark in the board 19. This mark being on a line with the edge of board 20, that edge being the one upon which the legs 18 and 18 slide. Thus by cutting, the board at the mark made as above described. it will fit the edge of board 20when the board 19 is placed at the same angle as when marked, that being the position ing with a wedge and a tumbler, of a marker plate having teeth and at each end of the marker plate a leg, said legs and teeth extending below the lower surface of the body portion of thetool thereby forming a guide for the plane.
